Calls For Investigation on ‘Over Recording’ COVID Death Numbers
What IS the truth about Covid deaths? Grieving relatives along with MPs and top medics demand inquiry as families reveal MORE loved ones they believe were wrongly certified as virus victims.
Grieving families last night said deaths had been wrongly certified as Covid-19. Demanding an inquiry, top medical experts and MPs also insisted they were ‘certain’ that too many fatalities were being blamed on the virus.
One funeral director said it was ‘a national scandal’. The claims are part of a Daily Mail investigation that raises serious questions over the spiralling death toll.
More than 100 readers wrote heartbreaking letters following a moving article by Bel Mooney last Saturday. She revealed the death of her 99-year-old father, who suffered from dementia and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, was recorded as coronavirus.
Dozens expressed similar frustrations that the causes of death of elderly and already-unwell relatives had been wrongly attributed. Eight of the families who wrote to the Daily Mail have successfully urged doctors to change causes of death previously recorded as Covid-19.
Layla Moran, the Liberal Democrat MP who chairs the all-party parliamentary group on coronavirus, said: ‘The Government should call a public inquiry into the handling of the pandemic immediately with an interim investigation into all Covid deaths that should report as soon as possible.’
Tory MP Paul Bristow, a member of the Commons health committee, said: ‘It’s almost certain that a number of deaths have been wrongly attributed to Covid-19. ‘Not only has this skewed figures when data has been so important in deciding how we respond to the pandemic, it has caused distress and anxiety for relatives. Whether we have received the most appropriate figures should definitely be considered in any future inquiry.’
A funeral director in the North West told the Mail: ‘The way Covid has been recorded and reported is a national scandal and a thorough enquiry should be opened immediately.’
Medical experts have cited pressure on doctors to include Covid-19 as a cause of death because it was last year ruled a ‘notifiable disease’, meaning any case needs to be reported officially. Professor Clare Gerada, former chairman of the Royal College of GPs, said: ‘When this all comes out in the wash, we will find out we have over-recorded Covid-19 as a cause of death.’
Richard Vautrey, who chairs the British Medical Association’s GP committee, said the toll may have been overstated at the beginning of the pandemic when testing was not widely available and ‘cause of death would have been based on best judgement of clinical symptoms’.
A Department of Health spokesman said: ‘We are confident the death statistics are robust and provide an accurate picture of those who have sadly died from the virus. The guidance to doctors completing a medical certificate of cause of death explains they are expected to state cause of death to the best of their medical knowledge and belief.’

Yeah, Yeah, Yeah. Another nameless faceless bureaucrat spouts his BS. Why do news papers never seem to publish the names and actual positions that these so called spokespersons hold?

Nothing new here. It’s propaganda. Just like the smoking stats and many others.. My older brother died in1999 at age 56. He exercised, wrote his bike every morning for an hours or so at 6 a,m, Hadn’t smoked in 30 years. He died of an enlarged heart and on his death certificate the cause was smoking. My father died at 81 when his heart gave out. 6 months earlier he spent a week in the hospital because his heart was only operating at 25% according to the doctors. He had emphysema and because of the that the cause of death was smoking. Statistics are created for the agenda.

I love the sentence above “Medical experts have cited pressure on doctors to include Covid-19 as a cause of death because it was last year ruled a ‘notifiable disease’, meaning any case needs to be reported officially.” Some well-hidden information on Public Health England’s website shows just 19,493 notified cases in the last 52 weeks. Not deaths. Cases. This is the biggest scandal ever to hit the world. Doctors are LEGALLY OBLIGED to notify PHE of all cases of notifiable diseases, of which Covid is one, although you have to search hard to find it on the spreadsheet as it’s the only one hidden. Go figure.
